Members cancelling after the Wednesday before the ramble, for whatever reason, should pay the appropriate coach fare.

The A walk is led by Nigel and is a circular from Braithwaite which takes in five Wainwrights. Initially we head up Barrow and then climb Stile End and Outerside. We descend steeply Southward from Outerside and then head up to Causey Pike. Retracing our steps from Causey Pike we head along Scar Crags to Sail and then Crag Hill, which is our highest point at 2752 feet. From Crag Hill we descend Westward and round the base of Eeel Crag to join the main path along the valley into Braithwaite. There are several light scrambles on this walk. Just under 10 miles and 3500 feet.

The B walk is approximately 6.3 miles and 1800 feet.

Leaving Braithwaite we will soon begin our climb of Barrow, some 1200 feet along the spine. We shall take a leisurely 1 1/2 hours for this climb, rewarding ourselves with fabulous views over Derwent water and Bassenthwaite at every stage. When we descend we shall make our way around Stile End and Outerside to climb Outerside from the other side, avoiding the rocky scramble of the main route. Outerside will reward us with views of the Coledale horseshoe.  The second half of the walk is a gentle descent into the secluded Coledale valley with its waterfalls, and after crossing Coledale Beck, a lovely easy walk along the valley into Braithwaite.

The C walk will be led by Phil Bundy. We start at the Pheasant Inn Keswick and take a wooded path down to Crossthwaite church and then on to Portinscale where we take the miles without stiles route to the base of Cat Bells and Skelgill . We then drop down the road to Stair and then across fields to Uzzicar . A short road walk down the Newlands valley road leads us to the path around the flank of Barrow which takes us all the way into Braithwaite . All good paths with good views  . Just under 6 miles and 650 ft of ascent nothing too difficult.
